Update: 'Grinch' Stays Green for Remainder of Run!

LATEST NEWS: How The Grinch Stole Christmas will keep the St. James Theatre smiling and green this holiday season, as reports say Jujamcyn Theatres have agreed to not appeal last week's court ruling to keep the show alive on Broadway.

Variety reports: "Judge Helen Freedman agreed, and the appeal, originally scheduled for Tuesday morning, has been canceled. The show has resumed its regular performance schedule and will continue until Jan. 6, when its limited run is slated to end."

At first closed for nearly two weeks because of the Local One stagehands' strike, How The Grinch Stole Christmas reopened November 23 at the St. James Theatre following the supreme court ruling.  During the Thanksgiving weekend, The Grinch staged a whopping 11-performances and is estimated to have grossed over $1-million.

The producers of How The Grinch Stole Christmas argued the limited holiday-engagement (booked for the St. James Theatre) should reopen because they had negotiated a special contract with Local One prior to the strike, employing stagehands for the musical's unique 12+ performance weekly schedule.

Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas The Musical features the hit songs "You're A Mean One Mr. Grinch" and "Welcome Christmas" from the original animated series. "Max the Dog narrates this classic holiday tale as the mean and scheming Grinch, whose heart is "two sizes too small", decides to steal Christmas away from the Whos, an endlessly cheerful bunch bursting with holiday spirit. The Grinch is a natural at thieving, even lying to little Cindy-Lou Who about his intentions as he stuffs the family tree, up the chimney, as well as the 'roast beast' feast and every last present up the chimney. When the Whos still insist on celebrating Christmas as if the thievery had never occurred, they melt the old miser's heart and, in the end, the Grinch learns that the holidays are not about accumulating presents but about love and togetherness," explain press notes.

How The Grinch Stole Christmas performs at the St. James Theatre (246 West 44th).  Tickets ($25-$111.50) are available at Telecharge.com
